Thought leaders from government and industry discuss how several innovative trends are combining to change the way agencies deliver services
Innovation Summit 2026 – AI Dominates the Landscape
ChatGPT was officially released by OpenAI on November 30, 2022, launched as a free public research preview. It quickly became one of the fastest-growing technology products in history and accelerated the release of competing generative AI platforms across the market.
Federal agencies are following directives such as the Office of Management and Budget’s “Accelerating Federal Use of AI through Innovation, Governance, and Public Trust.” According to the Federal Agency Artificial Intelligence Use Case Inventory, 56 federal agencies reported AI use cases at all stages of development. It shows that the number of submitted use cases rose from 1,757 in 2024 to 3,611 in 2025 – of which 1,818 have been deployed or piloted.
Learning Objectives:
- Scale AI from pilot programs to enterprise adoption
- Build governance, security, and Zero Trust frameworks for AI
- Strengthen workforce readiness, change management, and mission measurement
- Modernize data, infrastructure, and legacy environments for AI workloads
- Improve resilience across hybrid, multi-cloud, edge, and distributed operations
- Address emerging AI threats, security risks, and operational challenges

At Owl
Evolution Summit 2026, leaders from the public and private sector unpack the
architectures and decisions behind securing, sharing, and governing data that
turn once impossible missions into operational reality. You will see how
hardware enforced trust, Zero Trust at scale, and emerging AI containment
models are being applied to protect defense networks, critical infrastructure,
and high value operations when milliseconds define mission success.
Join
us for keynotes, panels, and live solution briefings that show how today’s
architectures are evolving into real world mission outcomes, from rugged COMSEC
at the tactical edge to cross domain data flows that restore confidence in
decision making.
Featured
summit speakers bring decades of mission and infrastructure experience to the
stage:
• Lt.
Gen. Robert J. Skinner, USAF (Ret.), former Director of DISA and Commander
of JFHQ DoDIN, shares lessons from enabling secure, real-time collaboration and
trusted information sharing across the defense enterprise in contested
environments.
• Glenn
Wadden, Founder and CTO of Trihedral, brings forty years of experience
securing SCADA and industrial control environments and joins the Zero Trust
panel to discuss how hardware enforced architectures can simplify and secure
complex critical infrastructure systems.

AI investment is exploding, but most agencies struggle to prove they are delivering measurable business outcomes. Administrators are frustrated with technical metrics that do not translate into terms that describe customer-facing improvements.
Quantifying the benefits and return on investment (ROI) is so difficult because agencies often lack clear KPIs and may face an initial dip in productivity before value is realized. Time savings or employee productivity gains are often qualitative and hard to translate into financial benefits.
Enterprise Architecture teams, meanwhile, are connecting AI initiatives to service strategies, value streams, customer journeys, and measurable outcomes – and generating what credible service improvement looks like.
Learning Objectives:
- Review the underlying reasons why tracking gains from AI use are so difficult, such as a lack of defined metrics in advance or hidden bottlenecks that can be caused in one department by increased output in another department
- Understand how your EA teams are measuring performance outcomes and connecting them to business impacts
Government agencies have more data than ever. The challenge is turning that information into smarter decisions, better services, and stronger mission outcomes.
From AI and analytics to dashboards and data sharing, agencies are finding new ways to put data to work. But success isn't just about collecting information. It's about making it actionable.
Join us online Wednesday, Oct. 28, from 2-2:50 p.m. ET/11-11:50 a.m. PT to hear how government leaders are using data to improve operations, drive decisions, and deliver greater impact.
You'll learn:
- How agencies are turning data into real-world results.
- The tools and strategies helping leaders make faster, smarter decisions.
- Actionable insights for building a more data-driven organization.
